|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
No byte cap on any term. The one number that varies is the connection count, and it does not vary here. |
| Binding | none Unlimited data and 50 connections with no speed throttle means nothing in the vocabulary fires at 1 TiB/month. |
| Identity | card Email, password and country at checkout; card payment. No phone or identity document. |
| Egress | 'Unlimited Data', 'Unlimited Speed', '50 Connections', 'No Speed Throttling' on every term. The VPN add-on is EUR 4.99 and is included free on the 15-month term. free allowance: unlimited on every term |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a retrieval service, not stored bytes |
| Retention | '6639+ Days Binary Retention' on every plan (6639 days) |
| Interface | unknown Access is NNTP over TLS. The schema's interface enum has no nntp token, so this is recorded as unknown; the real interface is the standard usenet protocol. |
| Tooling | Every usenet client (SABnzbd, NZBGet); 'Free Newsreader with Search' is included on the account. |
| Composes with | The 15-month term at EUR 6.99/month is the cheapest uncapped usenet feed found at EUR 104.85 for the whole term, and it carries a free VPN, which is the egress half of the same stack. |
| Reliability | No incident found in the pages read. The 52%-off banner has run unchanged since at least 2023-09, which makes it a permanent price rather than an expiring promotion. |
| Notes | The largest published promo-versus-list gap in the set: EUR 14.49/month struck through against EUR 6.99 charged, 52%. Two things make it less alarming than the number suggests. The discount has run unchanged for 37 months, so the list price is never observed to be charged; and the 12-month term at EUR 9.00 sets the realistic renewal floor, which is 28.8% above the 15-month rate. A client who renews at the 15-month rate pays nothing extra; one who falls to the 12-month rate pays 28.8% more. All three are named by the vendor. It is recorded as an observation about the documentation, not about the spool. The 15-month offer at EUR 6.99/mo is the lowest per-month figure the vendor itself publishes, at EUR 104.85 for the term. |
| Evidence note | documented Four dated reads, three archived, quoting the same three terms. A paid term would raise it to measured. |
